Last week I was drooling over all of Kelley’s Pumpkin Recipes, it makes it feel like Fall already! 

I was trying to come up with another Fall favorite and the natural choice next to Pumpkin was an apple breakfast treat. I’ve was looking for different dough recipes to try and came across an incredible versatile Brioche. It can be twisted from savory to sweet with only a few changes. The Dumpling is adapted from The Silver Spoon. I hope you add it to your Fall breakfast or brunch and let us know how it goes!

 

 

Spice Brioche Dough*
1 Cup Lukewarm Water
2 tsp yeast
3 Large Eggs, Lightly Beaten
1/3 Cup Honey
1Cups Butter, Melted
5 Cups Flour
1 Tbsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Allspice

1/4 tsp Cloves

 

 

Mix the yeast with the water in a 5-quart bowl, or lidded (not airtight) food container.
Combine Eggs, Honey and Melted Butter and add to the Yeast and Water.
Mix in the Flour and Salt, using a spoon until all of the Flour is incorporated.
Cover (not airtight), and allow to sit at room temperature for about two hours.
Dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. 

 

*I made 4 dumplings, and used the excess dough to make a Braided Brioche Loaf. Four Dumplings used roughly 1/3 of the Dough. Adapted From: Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day.

 

 

Apple Dumplings

Butter for Greasing,

4 Granny Smith Apples

2 Tbsp Brown Sugar

1 Tbsp Sugar

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 tsp Nutmeg

1/4 tsp Allspice

1/4 tsp Cloves

1 Egg Yolk Beaten with 1 Tbsp Water

 

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and ovenproof dish with butter. Roll out the dough to 1/8 to 1/4 in thick, cut into four squares, each large enough to enclose an apple. 

 

 

Peel and core Apples and place one in the middle of each dough square. 

 

 

Fill with 1 Tbsp of Sugar & Spice Mixture. 

 

 

Bring the corners of the dough squares up to the top of each apple and secure with a toothpick, sprinkle with any remaining Cinnamon & Sugar. Brush the egg yolk mixture, place in the prepared dish and bake for 40 minutes. Remember to remove toothpicks & enjoy!

 

 

Happy Baking,

Heat oven to 400° F.

Cut the Puff Pastry into 6 pieces. Line 6 ramekins with the Pastry, allowing the corners to stick out.
In a small bowl, combine the Apple, Walnuts, and Brown Sugar. 

 

 

Divide the mixture among the puff pastry squares and bake until the crusts are golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

 

 

For the Whipped Cream
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1 Tbsp Confectioners’ Sugar

1/4 tsp Cinnamon

 

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the Cream and Confectioners’ Sugar until soft peaks form. Serve with the tarts.

The post Homemade Breakfast Recipe: Apple and Walnut Tart appeared first on The Breakfast Hub.

A friend of mine is vegan and it’s incredibly hard for her to find baked goods that don’t contain some form of butter, milk or eggs. I made it a goal to try and find recipes that were both delicious and vegan. (My first attempt at this was  Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread followed by Phanouropita Cake and both were great!) I made this Crumb Cake for the first time this weekend, it was wonderful hot (I could hardly wait for it to cool!), I liked it the next morning cold and it was amazing reheated with ice cream for dessert. What is a good name of Breakfast for Dessert? Breakssert? Dessfast? ….it’s a work in progress.

Crumb Topping
1/2 Cup Flour
1/4 Cup Oats
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
2 tsp Cinnamon
Pint of Salt
2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 Tbsp Soy Milk/Creamer

Crumb Cake Batter
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1 Cup Apple, Diced Finley
1/2 Cup + 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
2 Tbsp Honey
1/2 Cup + 2 Tbsp Soy Milk/Creamer
2 Cups Flour
2-1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Allspice
1/2 Cup Walnuts, Chopped

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8×8 Pan with Vegetable Oil.
For the crumb topping, combine all the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Add  Vegetable Oil and Milk. Rub everything together with your fingers. Mixture should be ‘pebbly’. Set mixture aside.

For the Crumb Cake Batter, in a small bowl, toss the Cornstarch with the Apples. In another bowl, whisk together remaining Vegetable Oil, Syrup, Honey & Milk. Mix in the remaining dry ingredients.

Fold in Apples & Walnuts. Pour the batter into the pan, spread the Crumb Topping over the top of the batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean.
